Adler number: kappa,2485
Translated headword: you are a fountain-pitcher-prattler
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Meaning you are a babbler; for 'fountain' [sc. refers to] that which flows copiously and indiscriminately and all at once, 'prattler' refers to that which is useless. So he composed [sc. the word] from 'fountain' and 'prattle' and 'pitcher', since it is senseless, so that the entirety connotes that which is senseless and excessively wordy.
